Navigation Manager Editor (NME) allows you to create and edit the menus available within SunSystems Navigation Manager.
Navigation Manager menus consist of folders and functions.
Folders contain:
- further folders, thereby creating a hierarchical structure
- functions, that can be SunSystems functions or external applications, such as Microsoft Excel.
|
Navigation Manager functions contain properties that specify the SunSystems function or external application that they link to, and how these items are invoked. For example, properties can be used to specify which SunSystems form is used when invoking a SunSystems function, or which file is automatically opened when invoking an external application.
Menu structure, folder and function names, and function properties such as shortcut codes, are all user-definable when using Navigation Manager Editor.
Within SunSystems, different Navigation Manager menus are assigned to each operator group. Using Navigation Manager Editor you can create specific menus for each operator group and thereby restrict access to tools, functions and forms. For example, the clerks' menu can exclude any system administration functions such as Operator Setup. Menus are assigned to operator groups when they are saved.
Note: You must define your operator groups before creating new Navigation Manager menus. |

Overview
Form Designer (FD) is one of a suite of User Tools within SunSystems, which allows you to create and maintain your own forms. Users will be able to design SunSystems forms to suit their organisation and in-house working practices. Form Designer together with the Data Dictionary Editor facility provides a powerful means of customising the system during implementation to meet client needs, whether by simplifying complex screens, redesigning forms or by displaying installation specific text to make use of the organisations own terminology.
The application provides three basic services to users:
- Creation and maintenance of forms to specify exactly what data items and controls will be displayed on the form
- Defining user defined help text using Form Help Editor
- Applying permissions to forms using Form Permissions Editor
|
There are two types of forms that Form Designer can manipulate, these are: - System Forms – these are forms created by Systems Union and are provided with the SunSystems software, and
- User Forms – these are forms created within organisations for their specific use
|
Form Designer has one mode of operation available to users: Normal Mode. Normal Mode – this includes the Permissions Mode functionality as well as allowing the user to: - Display form window information for system forms
- Create new user forms, and manipulate the form window information
- Modify the form help information for both system and user forms
- Copy and amend existing forms
|
To access Form Designer: from Navigation Manager, expand the Setting up SunSystems folder and open Tools. From the Forms pane, double click Form Designer. Or you can enter a shortcut command - FD.
When Form Designer is loading a message is briefly displayed that General Information is being downloaded from the server.
The Form Designer window is split into 4 main areas as shown below. |

Overview
The aim of this session is to gain an understanding of how to design and configure user defined inquiries and control desk processes.
Filter Designer (FLD) is part of the suite of user tools available with SunSystems. These user tools provide you with the ability to customize the system to reflect your clients’ data flows and terminology.
As the name suggests, Filter Designer allows for the creation and maintenance of SunSystems filters. Using the simplicity of point-and-click and drag-and-drop methods, it combines the power of the SunSystems data dictionary with an uncomplicated WYSIWYG layout and design tool.
Filter Designer enables you to create and edit filters by: - Specifying selection and sort criteria.
- Generating forms to capture selection criteria at runtime.
- Generating new, or specifying existing forms to display the results extracted by your filter.
- Linking to reports, documents or processes.
|
Now run Filter Designer using the shortcut FLD or expanding the Setting up SunSystems folder and opening Tools From the Forms pane, double click Filter Designer. |

In this article we are going to talk about SunSystems performance optimization. It’s quite a common situation when the system users get disappointed and Sun implementation project fails to deliver what was promised only because the hardware and software requirements are not fully met. We can’t just blame the Sunsystems’s developers for purely written and not optimized code. Well, not entirely, as we all know there are system bugs that can impact the system performance in the end. Instead we should look more carefully how our hardware and software are optimized to deliver the best performance. The goal in writing this article is not to dictate a specific set of productivity guidelines for you, but to help you understand the optimization process where you create an environment that’s optimized for your specific needs. |
